Silversun Pickups’ latest album “Swoon” has been in the can since April, but you just can’t seem to keep this quartet off the road. They’ve lined up a couple festival gigs at the Outside Lands Festival and San Diego Street Scene before they embark on their fall tour. After they wrap the festival circuit, they take on the club/theatre scene starting at the Pipeline Cafe in Honolulu on September 5. Opening support will be handled by Manchester Orchestra on the first leg of the tour with Cage the Elephant covering the remainder.

“Swoon” marks the band’s second album which was produced by Dave Cooley (Rolling Blackouts, J Dilla). When it debuted on April 14, “Swoon” entered the Billboard 200 at number 7 rifling off 43,000 copies its first week. “Swoon” follows the bands 2006 breakout success of “Carnavas.”
